Oh, come on... it's not like bc is some obscure thing.  It's a POSIX utility.

People try building linux on not-so-posix systems these days...


Are you talking about Cygwin (which has bc prepackaged)? Even if not, I would be *extremely* surprised to find something that can build the Linux kernel which can't build GNU bc out of the box.

In fact, I would be rather surprised to find that the Linux kernel builds on anything which doesn't come prepackaged with bc.
